About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who offers dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding — both in my home and in yours. I truly love animals and treat every pet like part of my family. I’m very responsive, flexible, and available for last-minute and short-notice bookings. My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you — and fun for your pet 🐾 Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or full-time attention while you’re away, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Brittney was extremely warm and welcoming of our dog on her first ever doggy-day-care visit. She took her on trail walks, played a lot with her and sent us updates and pictures throughout the day! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely be taking her back to spend the day with Brittney again soon!”
About: I have always had a dog by my side so I have a lot of experience. In our household live with us, our 2 year old Belgian shepherd Dodge, who needs to be worked out daily and our 12 year old Labrador mix Bella. For me, what counts is that our dogs are family members, so your dog is also in very good hands with me Since I am a housewife and mother, I am very flexible. If discussed in advance, I can also walk your dog on the weekends. Ich hatte morgens The dogs are allowed to move freely in our house. They can go on the couch or with us on the bed or playing in our backyard . If I’m in your house, I will play with them, cuddle and make your dogs feel safe
About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.
“Sweet woman! She responded quickly, was sensitive to my situation and worked with me on the scheduling, drop off, pick up, etc. she gave me updates on my puppy and he seemed so happy and safe there. I will be back and highly recommend”
About: I grew up with our K-9 police dogs at home and have been dog sitting for military families in Germany, New Mexico and Florida for 5 years. I‘m a stay at home wife with 2 dogs and no children. Unfortunately not able to watch any cats due to me being allergic to cats. Also not able to watch dogs that aren’t potty trained due to carpet floors. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have crates available if needed and lots of toys and treats.
“Kyasia was amazing! She sent updates with pics and was very accommodating with our drop off and pickup times. Our pup seemed much less anxious than when she stays with the sitter we normally use. Thank you, Ky!”
“Ashlea is very friendly and accommodating. fast to respond and let me know our fur baby was doing good. She also sent me pictures and videos of her throughout the day. Would highly recommend and will use again if I’m ever in this area in the future. Thank you!”
About: Our place or yours? We live in a 3/2 home.. Our back yard is fenced in and secure. We do have two doggies that love other dogs. I can come to your home also. This is all I do now, and I love it! I previously worked 5 1/2 years at a local animal hospital. I have been working with Rover 8 years and I love it! My husband is a sergeant at a local prison. Several local families I have pet sat for, for almost 11 years. I can come over and walk your dog(gies) each day, or check on them several times a day. Our pets are family members. We have two children that love animals as well. If you choose us, your kids will be treated with the love and fun they deserve. I have given medicine,diabetes shots, accommodated special needs doggies and special diets. If your baby needs their own space we have an empty room they can make their own sanctuary. I was a member of AmeriCorps for two years, here in Okaloosa county. They taught me more about helping local children and other local charities. Now, my only job is pet care. I do go to a few people's houses and let their animals out, play with them during the day. Other than that, I am home with my family and the pets. I try not to have too early drop offs or too late pick ups, as not to disturb our neighbors. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. If your dog needs to be crated we can do that also. Pet Care is my full-time job. I board dogs out of my home, it's like they are part of my family. I also go to other people's houses and walk dogs to check on their pets. I have three fenced in yards two are dedicated to pet sitting. Most of the fences are new and they are all secure. My two sons definitely help with my pet sitting business.
“Carla is wonderful. I’m in from out of town and have a younger dog. She was up for the energy, and has a beautiful home and fenced in backyard. She has two older dogs of her own and her son is so sweet and tender with the dogs. She sent photos through the day, and kept my boy happy and out of trouble! This was my first rover experience and Carla has made me a believer. She put me at ease and showed me where my boy would be in her home, and asked questions I didn’t think to add in my “new mom overshare”. Truly cannot say enough.”
About: As a dog owner for the past 20 years I know the stress of worrying about your pets when you can't take them with you. I want to take some of that stress and worry away by providing a fun loving place for your pets to stay. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15 years. As a stay at home mom your pets will get a lot of love and attention. I also have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. Rest assured your pets will be well loved and cared for while you are away. I currently work for myself from home, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility. Also, my two teens are usually home in the afternoons and on the weekends so there’s always somebody here with the animals. . I have two beagles that are super chill and super friendly. I also have a huge yard on a corner cul-de-sac that’s completely fenced in so there’s plenty of room for them to run around in the backyard as well as take daily walks.

My three daughters love helping out and are gentle, playful, and hands-on with feeding, playtime, and giving lots of love.

I also have a crate available if your pup needs it for sleeping or feeding—whatever makes them feel most comfortable!
“Dave was absolutely amazing and make sure feel reassured to leave our fur baby in his family's caring hands. Our pupper enjoyed the dogs in his company and got lots of socialization and play in a safe and loving environment. Dave was always responsive and considerate giving us a heads-up of any other dogs that were visiting and being accommodating to pickup/dropoff times. Thank you for all that you do!”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in DeFuniak Springs on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your DeFuniak Springs commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 149 sitters in DeFuniak Springs, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
